Net Worth Calculator

Net worth is total assets minus total liabilities: with 250,000 in assets and 120,000 in liabilities, net worth is 130,000 and the debt-to-asset ratio is 48%.

Estimates for information only — not financial advice. Actual terms, fees, and rates depend on your provider.

Enter your total assets (what you own — cash, savings, property, investments) and your total liabilities (what you owe — loans, card balances, mortgages). The calculator returns your net worth and a debt-to-asset ratio. A negative net worth simply means liabilities currently exceed assets.

Formula & methodology

  • Net worth = total assets − total liabilities
  • Debt-to-asset ratio = liabilities ÷ assets × 100% (defined only when assets are above zero)

Add up everything you own at its current realistic value for assets, and everything you owe at its current payoff balance for liabilities. Net worth is a snapshot on the day you run it, not a forecast. When there are no assets, the debt-to-asset ratio has no meaningful value: the calculator reports it as undefined rather than a misleading 0%, while still showing your (negative) net worth.

Worked examples

  • Assets 250,000, liabilities 120,000 → net worth 130,000, ratio 48%.
  • Assets 50,000, liabilities 80,000 → net worth −30,000 (underwater), ratio 160%.
  • Assets 500,000, no debt → net worth 500,000, ratio 0%.

Limits

The result is only as accurate as the values you enter, and asset values (property, vehicles, investments) change over time. This tool does no valuation and fetches no market prices — you provide the figures. It is an information aid, not financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as an asset versus a liability?

Assets are things of value you own: cash, bank balances, retirement and investment accounts, property, and vehicles at a realistic resale value. Liabilities are amounts you owe: mortgage, car and personal loans, student debt, and credit-card balances. Net worth is the first minus the second.

Is a negative net worth a problem?

It is common early on — for example when a recent mortgage or student loan is larger than what has been saved so far. What matters more is the trend over time; tracking net worth periodically shows whether it is moving in the right direction.
